Davos Klosters Reviews & Ratings

Travelled to Davos in February as a first time skier. Started at the bottom of Jakobs horn learning the ropes near the magic carpet quickly moved to parsenn. The runs available for relative beginners were excellent. Space on the slopes was great and really helped develop confidence. For those in the group I travelled with that were experienced mentioned that the red and black runs were great fun but also enjoyed the green and blues for when they were tired. Highlight of the trip was the final day 10-12km ski from the central restaraunt/ bar to the bottom of Klosters, the views were amazing! Highly recommend!

One of the most all round resorts I have ever had the pleasure to ski. Beautiful peaks and tree runs with the most amazing views. The lifts are efficient and queues are short. The mountain vibe in the restaurants are pleasant and the food hearty and of top quality. Joes bar offers a wonderful spot to view the mountain vista in the sunshine. Joe is also a fantastic host and remembers what drinks you and your group have. Klosters is a friendly town with restaurants of supreme quality, together with Bars run but the famous local Evan, who loves nothing more than to make you feel welcome. You may also be lucky enough to be in Klosters when the famous brummie regular visitors the area, the Chicken Wings Club are in town and they will joke and drink with you. Andrist ski hire is the place to hire your skis or board and he gives the best advice at all times. The British Royal family love Klosters and so do I, a resort town have visited since the age of 16 and at 43 still do.

Very good ski school, and lots of family friendly areas especially in Madrisa. Good variety of runs, but on the whole not too difficult. Good place for beginners.

Klosters offers a great all round experience for skier/snowboarder and non-skier/snowboarder. In terms of skiing, the facilities are great and work efficiently in getting you up and around the mountain. A bonus is the heated chairlift, which is very welcome on a cold day. There are a number of lodges/restaurants/bars dotted across the mountain with great atmosphere and a variety of options to suit almost anybody. The runs are well looked after and has a good mix of runs for different ski levels. The long run down to Klosters town is especially good as you get some amazing views and ability to ski amongst the trees. If you fancy sledding, there is a great run available.

The town is very well equipped with restaurants, shops (a Coop for groceries and a number of clothing stores), plenty of ski shops (mr Andrist always makes for a great ski-fitting experience). Some of the best food can be found here, as the restaurant options are great and of a very high quality - my favourite is Al Capones, who make, in my opinion, the best pizzas.

The town is very clean and well maintained. At Christmas, very much feels like a winter wonderland.

I absolutely love this resort. Taken my school skiing trip here four times and frankly I'm of the opinion "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" so we'll certainly be heading back in 2026. Given we go in February half term, you'd expect it to be rammed, but the pistes never feel overly busy and queues for lifts are always short, with the possible exception of the 2 man chair in the beginners area.

There is a massive skiing area, across five different parts of the Davos-Klosters resort, which are easily connected either on skis or via train/bus. There is a huge range of pistes from nice wide, relaxed blues, through plenty of red runs and some very challenging black runs, some of which I've got down comfortably, some which bested me and will have to wait till next time.

We stay in the Youth Palace which caters perfectly for school groups, but the hotels around the funicular railway look amazing. As for apres ski, obviously we don't get to go in the bars, although they are always lively with a great atmosphere as we pass, but the heated outdoor swimming pool at "Eau La La" and taking in a Davos ice hockey match are great family friendly activities.

To be honest, if I could live here, I would!

Davos Klosters is comprised of 5 different ski areas (Parsenn, Madrisa, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn and Pischa) being Parsenn the biggest ski area to choose from.
Each location is accessed by bus, train but not directly interconnected with the other areas through ski lifts.
Parsenns summit can be reached either by a high occupancy uphill train from the base of Davos or by a cable car from Klosters. Both lifts are fast and efficient yet do tend to get crowed. Once at the top you are at high altitude (above 2600 mts) so snow conditions are typically good, the scenery is fantastic, with good options of red runs, few blue runs and fewer black runs to choose from. Lifts are a selection of gondolas, chair lifts (mostly modern) and few T-bars. Yet the gondola that takes you back to the top from the end of 24 and 22 runs, although covering a good distance, takes over 20 minutes, probably the longest lift I have ever experienced in a ski resort. This is probably due to a relatively old lift infrastructure.
Because of the layout of the mountain off-piste is plentiful yet there are few itineraries specifically marked indicating ski patrol control for snow conditions (i.e. runs 8, 9, 13 or 16).
Jakobshorn is a smaller mountain yet not less interesting and fun. The newest 46 black run is the steepest groomed black in the whole valley boasting a pitch of above 35 degrees. I did not manage to experience the other three mountains. Davos valley is not merely a ski resort so there are other attractions there outside of the ski practice (ice hockey, curling). Although the size of the ski area is not at par with other bigger ski areas in the Alps such as 3 valleys, 4 valleys, or the Sella Ronda, it is a great ski destination and worth a visit.

Great mountains! Slopes quiet and lifts are luxury. Apres-ski is limited but restaurants on the mountain are great, if expensive.

Good all round resort nice slopes for all levels and some good off piste

Davos Klosters is a fantastic resort often overlooked. With several varied ski areas it caters for a wide variety of abilities both for skiers and boarders. The largest ski area, the Parsen links the larger busier Davos with the smaller and quaint Klosters, offering different experiences depending on what you are looking for. The other ski areas feature free ride and ski park areas as well as ungroomed but secured slopes. Truly a resort for everyone, well worth a visit.
